i iiote is a movement in Mifflin coun
ty, we see from the True Democrat, in
in favor of selling the poor house and
abolishing the board of county )oor di
rectors. Ia thi*county people have agi
tated taking up what Mifflin want* to be
r.d of. Our neighbors across the Seven
mountains do not soeui to run their
poor house upon the strictest principles
of the *.'ienc* of economy, and hare had
otne heavy poor taxes to pay. Perhaps
Centre can learn a lesson in this regard
by going to Mifflin county.
An example which Penn'a leg •!*-
tors can imitate. Among the nation
al expenditures of the present t o
gress were s3d for two opera
glasses for Hon. A. h. Hooker, -f
Miss., sl4 for a set of dinner knives aud
forks for Hon. U. cj. Mills, of lex**: sl4
for an opera glass for Hon. U. D. Money
of Miss.. S2O Ibr a family oihle for Hon.
J. J. Yates, of N.V . sl2 for a opera g '***
for Hon. W.S stenger. of Fa., and $!4
for an operi glasa for Hon. H. D. Money
of Miss. How much ha* been spent for
dumb belts, cards, sanctuary song*,
n: >rs and other crooked stationary, in>*
bodv knows.
After tnnch aagc deliberation and
balancing of probabilities tiov. Hart
ranft has concluded to ai9-ept the post
mastership of Philadelphia. The pru
it cx governor deemed it much b t
ter to take his $4,000 a year than listen
to the seductive but delusive offers of a
nomination for sheriff of Philadelphia
bv the Times.
Missouri's state treasurer. Gates, fell
into the handa of some hankers who are
sharjwr than scrupulous. In conse
pter.rc the space in the treasury sup-
; -ed to have been occupied by f543,000
- found vacant, aad the bamkera jißgle
$41,(100 of profit* in their pockets. Ttie
legislative ikvestiga'.ißg committee can
not think of any punishment for Gates
more severe than impeachment.
The Hon. K. W. D*i* set a good ex
ample of economy in the house on Mon
'ay night. 24, by effectually opposing
the resolution to print a large edition of
useless public documents. But there are
mti'li more important subjects upon
which the spirit of retrenchment and
re'irm can be appropriately exer.

The Cincinnati Commercial publishes
interviews with a large number of lead
leg Democrats in Ohio and adjoining
States regarding the relation of Tiiden
to his pary since the investigation of
the cipher dispatches. The conversa
is reported show a decided prepond
erance of opinion in favor of the re
nomination ofTilden for the Presiden-
cy. Many express themselves in favor
of Thnrman. bat pronounce Tiiden their
second choice, and admit that theclaiaii
of the latter upon his party will un
doubtedly be sufficient to give him the
nomination if he enters the field as a
candidate.
The Republican minority oftho Home
Naval Committee have agreed on a re
port white-washing ex-Secretary Robe
son. They hold Caairman Whitthorne
culpable for exposing the corruption
and knavery, and seem to think there
should be some way found to punish
him. Yet Belknap was to Robeson as
the "Artful Dodger"' to Bill Sikes,
Robeson is one of the props of the
Grant movement and had to be put
in presentable shape.
Not less than $200,000 of the public
money was expended last year for pay
of supervisors under the federal election
laws Of this amount $175,000 was ex
pended in the north. In Pennsylvania
$43,000 was expended, and in the state
of New York SIOO,OOO. In New York
city alone was paid to the pre
cious scamfis uader the employ of John I.
Davenport for arresting thousands of
naturalized citizens and depriving them
of the right of suffrage on the pretense
that their papers were not legal. These
figures explain the anxiety of the re
publican leaders in congress to main
tain the federal election law. They are
loth to part with the machinery by
which tbev extract from the treasary a
large fund for campaign purposes and
for general corruption of the ballot.
But their federal election law is doom
ed.
Gov. Hoyt seems inclined to Lavt
his own way in the appointment of his
Cabinet. The Cameron influence
brought a strong pressure on liiin to se
care the place of Attorney General for
Linn Bartholomew of Schuylkill coun
ty, but the Governor yesterday sent to
ttie Senate the name of H. W. Palmer of
Luzerne, a selection we have no doubt
he tiad in view prior to his election.
Mr. I'ahuer, in Constitutional Conven
tion days, was known as something of a
reform Republican. He was a Republi
can member of that body from Luzerne
county, in which his brother, Mr. G. \V.
]'aimer, also served as a delegate from
the same -ounty. The new Attorney
General is a fair lawyer and a rising
man in his section of the State.
Prince Louis Napoleon, son of the late
emperor of France, has gone as a volun
teer with the British to fight the Zulus
in Africa. Louis' first "baptism of fire"
was in the late war between France and
Germany, which resulted so disastrous
ly for his father and the French, ami
which for the shortness of time that it
lasted, was one of the most fearful, wars
on record. Whether Louis will give
the Zulus a fair chance at him, ho does
not say, but may be able to inform the
readers of the Reporter in the future.
From lowa comes another of those
fearful stories that should bo a warning
to all parents —children being locked
alons in the house and burning to death.
On the evening of 28 ult., the wife of J.
R. Conl6on, of Coalville, Wobster coun*
ty, lowa, locked her three children,
whose ages ranged between three and
nine vearsj in the house while she visit
ed a neighbor. During her absence the
house was burned to the ground and the
children perished in the dames.
DOINGS AT HAURIsBI'KG.
In tbestate senate tho committee re

r The slate legislature is being bom
* barded with petitions for the removal

<; and for the re-enactment of a local op
tion law. The real Hrrctiles on hand
is the bill to pay the losses by '.he Pitts
burg riots out of the state treasury ; this
involves the nice'little sum of about 4
: million dollars. As the law now stan Is
Allegheny county is liable for thedama
" ges caused by the rioters within her
' i borders. The argument of the jveople f
Pittsburg is thst because the state un
dertook the task of putting down the
riot by sending her troops there it was
i a state atTairand hence the responsibili
ty of the state. boßie folks do not ex
actly take that view of the- matter.
1 Senator Thurmau in a few remarks
, upon the repeal of the biii appointing
' - deputy marshals to attend the election
* I polls. pointed out where ths election
" money was spent. The Senator asked
what new circumstance had arisen that
the department ofjustice had expended
* a quarter of a million dollarrof the peo
" pie's moaey without authority of law
The department which should, above a I
: others, obey the law. disobeyed it. This
* money was to pay a set of men employ
ed ostensibly to preserve the purity of
5 the elections, but really in corrupting
elections. Supervisors and Depity Mar
r shals were as pleatiful as blackberries
t : last year, and more corrupt than any
r bulldozers that ever put s foot on the
_, land. Where was the money ?i>en'." It
had been heralded that money was
needed to protect the poor negroes of the
South, but it had been spent in New
r York and elsewhere. Of the two mill
r' ion dollars heretofore appropriated for
, the Attorney Generals office, SIIO,OOO of
it had beea spent in New York, sso,<o>
. in Pennsylvania and SB,OOO in New
t Jersey and SS,(MX) or SO,OOO in a single
| county in Ohio, on account of which
' fourteen or fifteen members of the
' House of Representatives were elected.
- In view of the reign of terror instituted
- in New York by Davenport, there was
no difficulty in showing with this ma
chinery how the elections were carried.
. Oyer twelve hundred Deputy Marshals
1 were appointed in the city of St. Ixiuis
alone, and the Democratic majority in
. three districts was overcome by these
means. The money of the people of the
United States was being expended by
hundreds of thousands of dollars to cor
rupt voters. Come what might, he hoped
' the sections under which these Deputy
Marshals were appointed would be
' stricken from the statute books. He.
; | for one. was willing to stay here until
■ this time next year to repeal these eec
;: tions.
! There was a little fight in the senate
lobby the other day. A few weeks agu
the Senate adopted a rule forbidding
anybody to be in the lobby in the rear
1 of the Senate chamber unless be was
taken there by a Senator. Donn Piatt
and H'di. McGarraban were in tbis
lobby. How tbev got there no one
knows. They got into a quarrel over
the Panoche Grande case, which ended
in a fight, in which Piatt was badly hurt
—so bad that he had to be carried home,
where he will be laid up for some lime.
The Senate was in session ut the time,
but did not adjourn to see* the fight, as it
has previously done to attend a horse
race.
I.ast Tuesday, at noon, the 45tli Con
gress expired. With the next session
the democrats take posses-ion of both
braacbes of the legislative department
of the national government, for the tir.-t
time since the close of Buchanan's ad
ministration. Of right the executive de
partment also belongs to the democrats,
who fairly and honestly elec ed Tildeu.
But we must bear with the Fraud a little
longer, and then the democracy will rise
in their might and put a democrat in
the presidential chair, not by any 8 to 7
game or perjured returning boards but
by an overwhelming popular taajeri
tjr.
President Hayes on Saturday trans
mitted to the House a veto of the anti-
Chinese bill. The veto was received
and read amidst silence and was sustain
ed by a vote of 109 to 95. So then tin
pig-tail tribe may rest easy for a while
and John Chinaman may go on eating
rats in California.
The Chinese may come, with tlieirßis- 1
ters and their cousins and their aunts. '
The House mantained the consisten- 1
cy, ou Friday, of its record on the subsidy •
business by defeating the John Roach t
Brazilian eteamship subsidy'by a vote \
of 157 nays to 89 ayes. It passed the }
Senate last week iby 23 to 17. There i
have been no jobs of this sort approved j
by the House since it went under t
Democratic control in December, 1875.

I from i ivi! restraint! in j.roportien to tin
ißtensity of their fanaticism ; and the Tcry
element of fierce infatuation which would
add to their dmgerouTr wuu'd uid lc
their immunity. Tt.e late decision of the
Supreme C urt uf the Ui.itcJ Slates in thi
polygamy case, however, has finally di
posed of thi* kind of defense. Bclicl ii.
, the unconstitutioaality of a law ; tieiiel in
it* violation ef bight r law; beliet in its
conflict with conscientious duty, will b<
no defense to Hn indictment for disoheai
ence to su. ti law. And even a con-i ien
| tiou* belief thai an act is right—as lab"t
by n Jitw on Sunday in contravention ol
the Sunday la* will * t prevent sueh

Ignorance of lact, however, present*
question* far more intricate and u* lc
' th:* defense w may lay deivn the foil w ,
ing prop. -* it iiT. s :
' When t.' an ofToii-e know ledge of i er
' tin tacts is isssMtial then ignorance ot
these tacts !* a defease. When n statute
makes an act uidirtable irrespective ot
1 ! guilty knowledge, then ignorance ~f fact
| i- ti > defense. To an for bigs
my it is no defense tht the defendant, s
woman, honestly believed within the
! limit of seven year* from the time he was
last heard from) that her husband was
dead And an indictment ha* been sus
tained in MtssachusalU against a man for
I marrying a woman who believed herseli
to lie a widow, although olevan years hud i
j elapsed since she had last seen or heard'
from her husband whom she had left; it
being held by the Court that the statutory
, exceptions de n>t apply to tho doserliag i
party. It has been further held that whcic
guilty party in a divorce suit marries'
again kkilhout leave ol Court (thi* being |'
legally essential) during the life of the j
| other party, and afterwards obtains such 1
j leave, an honest belief that the second
I marriage is or has hecomo legal has no '
i effect ia m iking it and in protecting
j the parlies.
Numerous illustrations to thn same ef- 4
lect may bo drawn from prosecutions for
invasion* of the laws making indictable
tho sale of liquors under certain condi*
i lions. It is no defense, for instance, to an
indictment for keeping or selling adulter
atod or intoxicating liquors that tho de- !
, tendaat did not believe them to bo intox
icating or adulterated. Thus, on an in- 1
diriment for selling adulterated milk, the"
defendant i not j • fee • I t>v ignoran eof
